Gas production at the Kormor field had been halted since July 16 due to “security conditions.” Following the halt, the Kurdistan Regional Government’s Ministry of Electricity announced that about 2,500 megawatts of electricity production capacity had been reduced, disrupting the implementation of the 24-hour electricity plan and forcing the regional government to use the capacity of private generators to make up for the power shortage.
